Laser hair therapy is a promising option for men and women suffering from hair loss. This viable alternative or addition to hair transplantation procedures is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that will help to decrease the amount of hair loss. The Sacramento Hair Doctor, Dr. Nalini Prasad, can help develop a customized laser hair therapy that is tailored to your specific needs in her Roseville, CA, office.
How Does Laser Hair Therapy Work?
Laser hair therapy uses a low-level laser technology that has been clinically and scientifically proven to safely and effectively stimulate the hair follicles’ metabolism and protein synthesis. It also promotes hair regrowth by stimulating blood flow in the scalp and the follicle. Laser hair therapy in Roseville, CA, can be combined with medication as part of an overall hair loss treatment plan, or it can be performed after a surgical hair restoration procedure to stimulate hair growth and speed up the healing process.

I was experiencing thinning hair. I was fearful of having a hair transplant because I didn’t know how it would turn out or if it would look natural. My experience here was great! My hair looks fuller, looks younger. Everything was wonderful. Dr. Prasad and the staff were great. I would recommend them because of the results, they are professional, and understanding.*
The Revage 670
In our office, we offer the Revage 670 Laser in Roseville, CA. for this purpose. This system contains 30 laser diodes that rotate 180 degrees around the scalp. This dynamic process increases the contact of the laser energy with the hair follicles, making it potentially more effective in stimulating hair growth than hand-held lasers. The Revage 670 Laser is a safe and comfortable laser system. Studies with this device have shown that the low-level laser produces an eighty-five percent success rate in slowing the progression of hair loss, and up to a thirty-nine percent increase in fullness.*
Treatments are administered twice per week for twelve weeks and then once a week for the next sixteen weeks. Once hair growth has been observed, periodic touch-ups may be needed to maintain the benefits of the treatment. Each treatment session takes approximately twenty minutes.*
Laser light therapy with the Revage system is particularly suitable for women, as laser treatments work best when there are diffuse regions of thinning in the scalp (the pattern most commonly seen in female pattern hair loss) rather than completely bald areas. Since the laser light serves to thicken fine, miniaturized hair, it is particularly suitable in these thinning areas. The Revage system can penetrate down to the hair follicles and deliver a uniform field of energy in these areas.
LaserCap LCPRO™
For those patients who are unable to travel to the clinic on the type of schedule required for the Revage laser therapy, we also offer the LaserCap LCPRO™ laser device in Roseville, CA. that can be used at home on your schedule. Both of these devices will be more effective than the laser combs that you may see advertised, and they are labor-intensive for the patient. As with any medical procedure, you may have concerns about what the procedure involves. You can have all your questions answered about laser hair therapy when you schedule a personalized consultation.
If you have had transplant surgery, laser hair therapy can certainly help the newly transplanted hair to thrive and it can quicken the healing process. Low-level laser light is from the cool side of the spectrum, so the energy produced by the photons in the laser does not have the thermal component to cause heat injuries.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Therapy
While results will vary from patient to patient, laser hair therapy typically results in hair regrowth within two to four months of treatment.
*Individual results may vary.
Candidates for Laser Hair Therapy
Laser hair therapy is an excellent treatment option for those experiencing hair loss and who would like to rejuvenate their hair growth through non-invasive measures. It can also be a useful complementary procedure for those who have had a previous hair transplant. During a consultation in Roseville, CA, Dr. Prasad will assess your hair and ask you about your medical history to determine if you’d make a good candidate for laser hair therapy.
How Much Does Laser Hair Therapy Cost?
The cost of laser hair therapy varies from patient to patient depending on their individual needs. Factors taken into consideration are the type of treatment used and the number of sessions required to achieve the ideal results. Our team will assess your hair and discuss your goals to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. We will then discuss the associated cost.
